Frustrating Frustrating

We paid all of our bills, and had exactly $58 left for groceries for mainly 2 adults. I got a thing of pork chops, some mandarin oranges, blueberries, eggs, bacon, and sausage. I set it for pickup, because we have friends who work at the store. Nobody can get it. So we have nothing until tomorrow morning when someone CAN get it. I'm just 🤷🏻‍♀️ you do right and you're stuck, you do wrong and you're stuck. 😭

Edit: We are a household with health issues where diet matters, so I promise I make sure meals are as healthy as we can possibly afford. I won't seriously entertain assumptions that are absurd, and unfounded.


I think I’m going to lose it I think I’m going to lose it

I only have 7$ to my name because it costs 16$ to file my state return. This was the cheapest way I could find to file my taxes.

I haven’t worked in about a year because I have some unknown disability or whatever that has been causing me severe chronic pain my whole life and it’s to the point now that I am finally unable to do basic tasks. My doctor has been testing me for everything and can’t find what’s wrong with me.

I did some doordash and rover and made about 3,000$ last year combined to help pay for the bills. Well I thought maybe I’d be financially stable by now but I’m not. I owe 200$ in federal taxes and I have no way to pay. I don’t know what to do because they said I have to pay by the 15th. I hate this so much. I wish I didn’t have to report that stuff and I got all the deductions I could but obviously I can’t lie to get more.

I’ve just been crying for an hour because I don’t know what to do. I already owe so much for bills and other things.
